A space player trying to cheat a game and alchemise that damn code. Only to learn that a) all universes have same code despite having massively different traits which means that results of alchemy are unpredictable b) ammount of required grist is so obscene that it is easier to just breed the damn thing.

I mean, in a way isn’t the creation of the Genesis Frog LITERALLY Alchemy? The process is called the Ultimate Alchemy, and the biggest thing preventing Players from making the Universe is the need for the Grist Hoards Denizens have.
